i can't wait to try 2x lemon malawi gold x jack's cleaner 2. that strain is happy and trippy too and the two's similarities should come from entirely different lineages. it should be the 1st IBL i finish. i'd think the strain would be great for adding some hybrid vigor to the columbian, panama, thai, afghani, NL5 gene pool. malawi & the best columbian or panama still around, or even better, cambodian, would be the start of something really nice with fresh genetics. the trippiest IBLs are the ones peeps should be out there SCROGging, but not authentic highland thai unless they have infinite patience.
if holy smokes' malawi lives up to IT's thai comparisons better than durban poison, i'll probably want to compare it against that other one. it's always what i've wanted to work with because no one else really has yet. malawi and little lemon burmese sounds like a good start for a compact haze with minimal afghani intrusion using something like quick couchlock free C99 or whatever's even better like maybe TGA's A13 vortex, but his own JC2 is pretty much already there at 9 weeks flowering.
as super nice if not exactly gourmet tasting haze x skunk isn't shabby, then a genuine lemony & trippy 75% malawi & 25% lemon skunk should be really nice and tasty as that's some good skunk. i think HQS uses a more indica leaning cheese skunk in their cross. sativa seeds' H19 skunk looked more like an IBL sativa.
i drew 3 out of 4 males to get that one lanky gal that tested very promising and proved way more indoor friendly than highland thai. the sweet haze wasn't shabby either. best fruity haze i've had yet. that's about 2 weeks after flipping everything to 12 hours i think.
is malawi the new gold standard? jack's cleaner 2 ain't shabby either way and i need to re-test broad leaved CH9 jack as i think that one had a potent buzz that got lost in the shuffle with over a dozen fruity jacks & hazes i tested. the sweet haze was top quality and sativa trans love was the fastest producing of the rest of the similar good stuff. all of the fruity more clean headed than trippy but euphoric haze buzzes were nice, but similar despite different genetics, was plenty nice smoke and fun comparing looking for standouts. rokerij's "amnesia haze" & female seeds' x-line auto jack are great bargain hazes and at around $10, kannabia thai fantasy is affordable too, but DNA sweet haze is worth that extra $4 or so at a whopping $11 for a fem. i'd really like to try their cannalope haze & chocolope too. strains that sell out are most likely to be the best.
i'm pretty sure malawi is at least better than HQS thai skunk if not their super potent $28 @ 11 haze skunk. that strain is a bargain & my 2nd favorite until i test malawi & sweet haze better. it's not the trippiest, but not shabby, but the potency, duration & tolerance are awesome.
i'm guessing holy smokes was a fan of afropips' gear. someone here was really interested in the mozambique poison. i'd bet almost anything with poison in it's name is at least a little better than power plant anyways. i think super thai is probably an hybrid. it didn't stand out like sweet haze did and i'd hoped for and expected. the other thai i tried was more hazey than highland too.
now that i have a heating mat, i might be inclined to give delta 9 a 2nd try on their mekong haze to see if it's as legit as it's rep when i gear up in a few months. that crossed with real malawi would be something not to be blazed in a hurry, know what i mean?
if you could aquire quality genes, mekong (2x cambodian) x malawi x the best mexican IBL out there would be a superior haze maybe even if you put 25% of the best "indoor haze" in the mix. i love heating domes for popping beans, but not so much when crowding a bunch of small pots that dry out or mold in the same batch, but they really speed popping up and i bet viability a notch or two as well. i just couldn't get tiny little mekongs to pop when i was having that problem with everything from everywhere in winter.
TGA's jack the ripper & sannies' killing fields should be on your short lists if you're into the idea of malawi. i'd love to buy either crossed with malawi if only the name was peace loving. hey, cross the two and call it "
kiss & make out", even camo for short
!
